Q: Hello Team 5i,

I recently sold GUD, my only CDN. or US. Health Care holding. Could you recommend one or more replacements for me? Not sure what your current suggested health Care portfolio weighting should be but that might figure into your response.

I read something recently that indicated that the S&P/TSX Health Care index is down 58% between March 2021 and 2022, might that be correct? If so, would you say this would be a good time to be buying?

Thanks for your wisdom

Q: Good morning 5i
Recently someone asked a question about how to manage cyclical stocks in a largely buy and hold portfolio. You said, i believe, that a good strategy is to always hold a certain percentage of cyclical stocks. There have been many questions recently about Tfii. With its rapid fall I have been wondering what percentage should one hold of an individual cyclical stock. Say, for instance, if one used 5 percent as a full position.
Thanks as always for your excellent service

Q: Hi 5i,

Looking for additional exposure in the semi-conductor market. I currently already have a 3% weighting in NVDA. I am looking to potential start a position in AMD or INTC.

Your previous answers to questions suggest you favour AMD (after NVDA) given the companies recent execution.

However, INTC seems to be turning a corner with there plans to build new plants in Arizona in the next few years and change in management. Based on its current valuation (cheap compared to AMD) the current tailwinds of 'on shoring' it seems to me a compelling buy compared to AMD.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate all you do.

Q: With this announcement what would you expect in terms of stock performance going forward if approved? Would you have concerns with this if you were an investor? Long term I believe this best of breed company will be fine but if the stock price will drop a fair bit I would rather add at lower levels. I feel like this is a pretty big dilution but what is your opinion? Thanks

Q: Peter; The following might be part of the reason the stock is struggling- re question from Curtis
Walmart raises truckers’ starting salary to as much as $110,000 a year. The pay bump, from $87,500, comes as companies deal with a shortage of long-haul truckers. Relatedly, the video game developer Activision agreed to convert 1,100 of its temporary employees to full-time status, a sign that workers might be gaining more bargaining power.

Q: Hello

This question is mainly for Peter because of his long experience.

It is obvious that rates will rise significantly in 2022 and maybe 2023 due to high inflation. And at the same time it also seems very likely that there will be a recession in 12 to 18 months. My question is how can central banks react in such an environment? Will they start cutting rates when the recession is on the horizon or is it possible that they will leave them stable for a more or less extended period, even in a recession?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

your web site says the D/E for DOL is 155.9.
This seems high and doesn't make a lot of sense because I believe you
like the stock. Can you help explain. What is the balance sheet of the company like? Do they have much debt to be concerned about in a rising interest rate environment?

thanks for your insight
